LAKE DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY LDA AND BENGALURU(BANGALORE)
The city of Bangalore is a marvellous city in many ways chisseled and christened by centuries of occupants both domestic and International and every community for that matter has left an indelible stamp on the city in its own way and right..
Very crisply said the city of Bangalore has many decorations handed down by the past both pristine and modern.The greatness of this city are its lakes -myraid of them in every nook and corner.Added to these lakes are three formal rivers which are in turn connected to these lakes.The water in these lakes are largely gifted by the Eastern Ghat mountain range which are short in height and barren and large supplies of water descending from these mountains traverse in many ways accross the Bsangalore plains to join the Cauvery river in some form down the plains.The lakes are largely plush with water from the Eastern Ghats and also from the rains.
When I was a kid there were two major lakes near our house which are oliterated now.In 2002 I had sent an email to the then Chief Minister of Karnataka Shri. S M Krishna the need to save these lakes and hence came the LDA (Lake Development Authority) which over the decades hence has done a splendid job preserving and developing these lakes.

THE NEW BSNL LAND-LINE SYSTEM
The new BSNL land-line telephone system coupled with internet hotspot(optional) is technologically different in many ways from conventional co-axial cable systems. It uses optical fiber upto the last meter and then uses an adapter which is power operated to connect to the land line. Data transmission of voice and other data is much faster and is a good option.
The dis-advantage of this system is that it always needs power back-up. If power fails the system does not operate. BSNL can supply a small UPS with this system to give power back-up during power failures to keep the system operational.
BSNL along with institutions like ITI could team up to set up such optical fibre broad-band telephone systems in countries that still use co-axial cables. This would be a good international operation for both the institutions and other support institutions in this feild.
